Observations from Mets spring training on Sunday:
Four points
The makeshift Mets hit four home runs against Yankees pitching, with Jared Young, Luis Torrens, Hayden Senger and minor league utility player JT Schwartz all going deep — a day after the lineup was held to two hits in the Grapefruit League opener.
Starts slowly
There may come a time in the not-too-distant future where Carson Benge and Ryan Clifford play key roles in the Mets lineup.
The two went hitless in six combined at-bats in their first appearance in a Grapefruit League game.
Caught my attention
Pete Alonso homered again on Sunday, this time against the Tigers.
It was the first baseman’s second home run in as many spring training games with the Orioles, who signed the ex-Met to a five-year, $155 million contract in the offseason.
Monday’s schedule
The first road trip of the spring continues when the Mets visit the Blue Jays at TD Ballpark in Dunedin, Florida, at 1:07 p.m.
Clay Holmes is set to make his spring debut in his second season as a starter.
